Right, so i purchased the Scroll Excel Tablet yesterday, what can i say, i was impressed :)
Had a little play and what not, i saw that the lip-sync issue was there, no big deal....

Anyway... I present to you a custom WORKING update.zip made by yours truley....

A little story...
I was coding the updater-script and accidently told it to wipe the recovery.... Big Oooops here...
Then silly me did a "factory reset" via the "Privacy" menu...
The device rebooted and then nothing.... I had basicly bricked it.
So, i used livesuit and proceded to fix what i broke...
Surprise Surprise the device booted.... I had a "Tablo"
Re-installed Clockwork Mod.... Everything works... So far, apart from the hard "Home" key... No big deal... I did this for you guys ;)

I then proceded to test my custom update and.... Blow me down it worked!

I have yet to code the updater-script to flash the boot partition, this i do not want to do at present....

I will release, if you guys want it, the update.zip, but i hold absolutely NO responsibility if you brick your device

Your comments are welcome....

Flashed Tablo firmware via livesuit, installed clockword mod, i followed your guide, thanks for that, i did 2 backups before doing anything, then used my backup to convert to a flashable file, then recoded the updater-script to reflect the nand partitions on the device.

You were right when saying it uses ext4 and not yaffs2, that did throw me a bit. Obviously with out the Excel myself i couldnt test anything, so i bought it.

No problem, ive spent endless hours banging my head against the wall on this
I made a backup before i bricked it, i used the Tablo firmware to "Restore" the Tablet

The Rom is pure Storage options, stock.

Ill PM you the link.... make a backup, it will ERASE ALL DATA!!!!

Thanks i will take a look when i get in
If this flashes from the clockworkmod on an ics device job done we can go back and forth from GB to ICS
